Twine

In his splendid book of poems, twine, John Diamond-Nigh ties and un-ties the knots of mystery from our experiences with objects, locales, processes and people. Each poem remains untitled until the end, when the sudden appearance of a title becomes like an answer to a riddle, deft and memorable. From a shadow to a sports car, from a picnic to a piano to a pen, Diamond-Nigh reintroduces us to the origins of poetry (the ear-liest poems in English are riddles) with a joyous urgency and light hand. Sensuously, the poet intertwines questions with compositions to make each poem like a daffodil
